I tried out their universal primer, the
one for redness and the other for discolorations.
The Colour Correct primer for redness has
a yellow tone to it to help counteract the redness in your skin, was relatively
thick but glided onto my skin like silk and vanished quickly, leaving my skin
feeling satiny smooth.
The primer for discolorations was almost
identical in texture and sported a peachy tone.
The Universal Primer however was an
entirely different texture altogether. It was far thinner in texture and more
liquidy, which took a while to rub into my skin and absorb and didn’t leave the
silky, satiny feel that I would usually associate with a primer.
That said, I actually rather liked it
and found it hugged my skin better and allowed my foundation to be applied more
evenly that some of the thicker primers I’ve tried in the past.
I can’t comment that much on how the
redness corrector and discolouration corrector primer work in terms of reducing
redness and blurring imperfection scars etc as I don’t tend to suffer with either
of those skin complaints.
I can judge the primer though, based on
its ability to keep my make up on my face, to even out my skin tone and to
leave my face feeling pampered, and both succeeded in doing this.
